Saudi Arabia-Pakistan agree to mend strained ties

Announcement comes after Pakistani PM Imran Khan held talks with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

Saudi Arabia and longstanding ally Pakistan signed several agreements on Saturday and vowed to revive ties strained by months of disagreement over policy on the Kashmir dispute. On his seventh visit to the wealthy kingdom since his 2018 election, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was given a warm welcome by Saudi officials in the western coastal city of Jeddah. He was greeted by Saudi Arabia’s de-facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the airport before holding talks with Saudi officials at Jeddah’s Al-Salam Palace.
